Stephen Hawking was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge for thirty years and the recipient of numerous awards and honors including the Presidential Medal of Freedom. His books for the general reader include My Brief History, the classic A Brief History of Time, the essay collection Black Holes and Baby Universes, The Universe in a Nutshell, and, with Leonard Mlodinow, A Briefer History of Time and The Grand Design. He also co-authored a series of children’s books with his daughter, beginning with George’s Secret Key to the Universe. Stephen Hawking died in 2018.
The world-famous cosmologist and #1 bestselling author of A Brief History of Time leaves us with his final thoughts on the biggest questions facing humankind.
Stephen Hawking was the most renowned scientist since Einstein, known both for his groundbreaking work in physics and cosmology and for his mischievous sense of humor. He educated millions of readers about the origins of the universe and the nature of black holes, and inspired millions more by defying a terrifying early prognosis of ALS, which originally gave him only two years to live. In later life he could communicate only by using a few facial muscles, but he continued to advance his field and serve as a revered voice on social and humanitarian issues.
Hawking not only unraveled some of the universe’s greatest mysteries but also believed science plays a critical role in fixing problems here on Earth. Now, as we face immense challenges on our planet—including climate change, the threat of nuclear war, and the development of artificial intelligence—he turns his attention to the most urgent issues facing us.
Will humanity survive? Should we colonize space? Does God exist? These are just a few of the questions Hawking addresses in this wide-ranging, passionately argued final book from one of the greatest minds in history.
Featuring a foreword by Eddie Redmayne, who won an Oscar playing Stephen Hawking, an introduction by Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne, and an afterword from Hawking’s daughter, Lucy, Brief Answers to the Big Questions is a brilliant last message to the world.

评分霍金的写作既严谨又不失风趣,能用非常精确简明的语言讲述艰深的物理学概念。这也许是他作为科学家的素养,也许是身体的缺陷限制了他的表达途径,所以他把文字打磨得既漂亮又高效。 这本书里,霍金对于十个问题给出了自己的答案。有些是与物理相关的,有些是全人类将要面对的终...
评分 评分##中文译本易读,标注一下以免重复 1985年霍金因手术失去了说话能力之后,他一度怀疑自己是否能继续学术生涯。后来众所周知有了辅助说话机。但还有一个问题就是:公式怎么写……答案是LaTeX。有没有顿时觉得自己距离霍金很近? 《时间简史》也是在那前后写作的,写作原因,有一个是为了女儿Lucy的学费。因此,霍...
